Predicative Adjective vs Predicative
Can you please tell me - is there any (if any) difference between these two terms: predicative adjective and predicative.
Thank you!
Thank you!

'Predicate' or 'predicative' adjectives appear after the subject noun or noun phrase: My house is big and brown . 'Big' and 'brown' are both predicate adjectives. 'Predicative' alone is an adjective and refers to any part of a sentence that follows the subject noun; 'predicate' is an adjective or noun and as a noun it ('complete predicate') refers to everything but the subject in a sentence, while the 'simple predicate' refers to the verb phrase only: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs .
